<b>Washington Related</b><hr><b>1804 Books, “The Life of George Washington...” by John Marshall, Volumes I and II, Very Fine.</b>
1. Volume I, published at Philadelphia in 1804 by CP. Wayne. Frontispiece plate of Washington loose and heavily toned. Inscribed to Wm. Slosson, August 12, 1804. 8.75” x 5.75.” 488 pages plus 45 pages of notes.
2. Volume II, from the same set as Volume I, also inscribed to (or by) Slosson. 560 pages plus 72 pages of notes.
Nice overall condition, still sound and in the original bindings. Worn, rubbed, gilt stamped covers, some toning on the guts.
Missing Volumes III through V, but a good start for the collector who is more interested in the contents and has the patience to wait for the later volumes (which do appear on the market from time to time).
